Eaton’s LifeSense™ is a patented hydraulic hose condition monitoring system. Rather than
random replacement times and accidental breakdowns, the user gets an advance alert the
moment the hose needs attention.

Benefits

• Provides over 50% more hose life
• Increases reliability – detects and warns of impending failure
• Safeguards workers
• Reduces risk of collateral damage
• Increases cost savings
• Maximizes uptime – mitigates unexpected hose failures
• Improves maintenance/operations efficiency – automates inspections, on-going and
  real-time monitoring
• Protects the environment – mitigates potential hazards

What’s inside counts, every day.
Eaton’s LifeSense is a cutting-edge technology with a combination of diagnostic and alert systems. A hosecondition sensor continuously monitors hose conditions via electrical measurement technology. A diagnostic unit interprets this data and alerts users well in advance of impending hose failure. It’s a built-in safeguard against work interruption.

Monitors Hose Life. Signals Impending Failure.
The patented, proprietary technology behind LifeSense is a result of a partnership between Eaton Corporation and world-renowned Purdue University. Extensive research and development demonstrated the ability of electrical properties to predict hose failure. Thorough field and laboratory testing by credited technicians substantiated it.

The unique Eaton LifeSense hose assembly uses a sensor on every hose to pinpoint pending
future problems through a proprietary decision engine. A Hose Diagnostic Unit (HDU) actively monitors and processes these characteristics. When the HDU determines a hose is approaching
the end of its useful life, an alert notifies the user that the hose needs to be replaced. There is no need for immediate equipment shutdown or unexpected failure. With ample alert time, users can finish the shift or task at hand and schedule regular maintenance to replace the faulty hose assembly.
